       The book of Daniel opens with the account of God handing over the king of Judah, her people, and her treasures to the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. Those first two verses in the first chapter of Daniel were quite frightening; imagine being handed over to your enemy to be enslaved and or probably killed. Why would God do this to His beloved people? 'Where is His mercy', many cry out today when they read these and many more Scriptures like that. Why would God send His people into slavery and suffering, many yell today, especially in the face of current happenings around the world or in their personal lives.         Those that say such are yet to understand the extent of His mercy and love. In His mercy, He gives His people a chance to repent and return to Him because He is holy; and those that must worship Him must do so in holiness. In His love, to experience that life outside of Him is empty and filled with darkness devoid of any fo...

      After the Flood in Genesis, God declared, “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease” (Genesis 8:22, NKJV). This declaration is beyond the sowing of monetary gifts to reap a plentiful harvest! This was a warning and a promise for the living to be mindful of what they sowed. Take a look around the world, people and nations are sowing seeds; if they know what the outcome of the seeds they are sowing presently will be in a couple of years, they will be very mindful of their sowing: "God will never be mocked! For what you plant will always be the very thing you harvest"  (Galatians 6:7, TPT). You cannot sow wickedness, lies, subterfuge, and evil in lives and hope to reap loyalty, trust, and kindness from them!        Daily, as an individual or as a society, you are either sowing or harvesting that which had been sown. What God said in Genesis 8:22 is a constant, and will o...

       Every day in this part of the world, it has become a norm to wake up daily to stories of killings, kidnappings, corruption, and the like. This evil has slowly become a norm such that people are no longer shocked to hear about the senseless killings and wanton destruction of lives and property. As a result of this unpleasantness, and the imminent threat to break down of law and order, we see the police and the army always dressed as if they are in a battle or about entering into one. They certainly cannot wait until the crisis is upon them before they go get dressed in the proper gear. There is a message in this for us as sons of God, if we would be like the sons of Issachar, to discern the times.         The Bible already warned us that the last days, which we are currently in, will be filled with violence and will be difficult: "But understand this, that in the last days, dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [diffic...

       If you live in the big cities, you see people rushing to and from somewhere. There is always an urgency in the air to want to do things quickly. It is alright because it is the time that we are in: The return of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent! And the hours of the day are increasingly getting shorter to attain what we set out to do each day. As a result, many set out for ways or paths to get the result they desire faster. In the process, many get hurt.         As the world hurtles towards the end, if one desires to live well in this world according to the dictates of God, one must have wisdom: "Wisdom will extend your life, making every year more fruitful than the one before" (Proverbs 9:11 TPT). This Wisdom is not craftiness or sharpness. All these qualities describe another kind of wisdom, which the Bible describes as the wisdom of the world: "Such wisdom does not come from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. Fo...

        "But understand this, that in the last days, dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear]. For people will be lovers of self [narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money [impelled by greed], boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane" (2 Timothy 3:1-2, AMP). There is turmoil all over the lands, wars everywhere, and rumors of war in the air in diverse places. People that once lived in peace suddenly cannot trust each other; suspicion, betrayal, and hatred litter the landscape. All these happenings are all signs of the end time, we know, but how prepared for the End are we?         Many children of God believe they do not have to think of the End because the world will endure for many generations, after all 'it is a world without end'! The reality is one day, we will stand before the Judge of the whole earth and give an accounting of how we...

       Have you ever felt you are not praying enough on your own, especially after going through the prayer points in less than ten minutes? Do you wonder if you are praying enough especially in light of teachings that one must cultivate the habit of praying at least an hour a day? A young man was discussing this dilemma with me; he couldn't see himself praying beyond ten minutes; he felt he had run out of anything to say. Even when he switches to tongues, after a while, he feels a dulling of his senses! He felt something was wrong with him as he is sure he will end up in hell. I told him he may have misunderstood the message that was being passed on in line with the Scriptures. Because it is not the length of the prayer but the weight of it that is important to God!         We are called to pray ceaselessly. Meaning to live a life of Prayer because prayer prepares us for what God has prepared for us. A prayerful person is not necessarily pra...

       Two friends walking along the road discussing the river in their community drying up. They noticed the water level is decreasing daily at an alarming rate. This river is central to the survival of the community; their daily activities and their livelihood are dependent on the river. They were wondering what will become of the community once the water dries up. They may have to move away from the land, thereby losing their ancestral lands, or remain and suffer hunger and untold hardship, they thought. It was a sad and frustrating discussion between them.         Naturally, a river empties into a larger body of water, but it always has a source. When the river is cut off from its source for whatever reason, it begins to dry up because it continues to empty into the larger body of water without being replenished! Sadly, this scenario spiritually is playing out in the lives of many in the Body of Christ as we see the Soon Return of our Lor...
